Pierson: Trump Didn’t Flip-Flop on Immigration, He Just ‘Changed the Words That He Is Saying’

Source: Mediaite

Donald Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson had a unique response to the charge that her boss flip-flopped on immigration Thursday, saying that his position hasn’t changed, but his words have.

“He hasn’t changed his position on immigration, he has changed the words that he is saying,” she insisted.

That elicited laughter from the other panelists. “That would be a change,” responded contributor Amanda Carpenter.

But Pierson braved on: “What he has said from the beginning is that he does not want to allow people to stay in this country illegally, he does want to build the wall, but he wants to work with Congress to get things done.”

You just have to see it for yourself at 5:45 to appreciate Katrina's effort to reconcile Trump's earlier deportation stance with his new found appreciation of the status quo under President Obama.

... who assured the world that the American soldiers were "suiciding themselves" against the city walls during Dim Son's invasion.

What was his name again?

But Google informs me that he is Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf, an Iraqi diplomat and politician. Still alive, by the way, and living in the UAE.

ESPECIALLY THE ONES YOU ARE ON! You sound ridiculous!

Honestly, you won't expand your base with looney toons talk. Go do some homework and then come back....

and this is what he was saying all along. It HAS TO BE some form of mass insanity we are seeing play out. The best thing for the country, quite honestly, would be his literally jumping off a cliff and his base following suit.

To the actual leaders of the alt right Don the Con is nothing more than a useful tool. They are using him as a battering ram to break down all possible sense of unity among American citizens in hopes of creating an all out insurrection they will forcefully take control of. The Con will be dispensable to them at that point.

said "Trump" and "flip-flop" in the same sentence. I thought "they call flip-flops 'thongs' in Australia". Then my brain did something that I hate my brain for- it made a connection it shouldn't have (Trump thong). Luckily, I am in a hospital doing pre-registration with the wife- I may have to check in now.
